FLOUR MILL SHUT DOWN.
The Interstate Commerce Law Resp onsIble
for 1t.

I
f. 2. Rhodes & Sons Diamond FIGURING
Mil, at Bridgeport, ahut down yesterday.
The suspension Eas compelled by the
operations oil the Interstate Commerce
Bill. The new freight rates caused BY this
law are go high that they made it impossi-
bic to run tho mill and pay the rates
charged Tor carrying wheat from the West.
As there is not enough wheat to be bought
in the local market the proprietors had no
alternative.
Idesire TO say on behalf o; The firm that
the above ls wrong in every particular.
First, there Is no such firm in existencs.
Second, the Diamond mills, Of this city,
operated by the firm OF Z. ?. Rhodes, will
continue to manufacture flour as hereto.
fore. Third, there is not now, nor has
there been, in any particular, either near
or remote, any interference or disturbance
in the business OF tho Diamond mills,
through the operation OF the Interstate
Commerce bill, and finally, the firm can
get and does get all the wheat it wants
from the surrounding country. Now then
as the above ia untrue in tote and
therefore liable 10 do the firm great harm
in the public view, l hereby make this
correction in justice to the firm and for
the protection and information OF it's
many customers.

and tomorrow. The Dulntbs are very
strong, having won the championship last
year Of the Northwestern League. They
have a salary lie. three times The

on this bssls, they should win by that
ratio. The patrons Of the game in this
city cannot expect too much OF tho Wheel.

had but little opportunity as yet 10 get in

doubtcdly good, but 1t is to certain OK.

essential to a strong game. The boys will
give q good account Of Themselves as soor
as they can get that soreness worked GU,
and will not DO among tho tail enders in
the Ohio League race. When It comes ia
playing tho great clubs Of the country the
homo team can not be expected 10 win
but can merely afford the people
chance to SEQ what tho game ie.
The attendance at the opening practice
game last Saturday was very large, con,

the day been bright and warm the groundf

The Wheeling team worked ila three
